STOCKING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

. Patented May *7, 1912.

Application filed October 30, 1911. Serial No. 657,525.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ARTHUR NATHAN Pnnsaronr, residing at the city of Shamokin, county of Northumberland, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Stooking, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of an improved pocketattachment for stockings.

It further consists of novel-features of construction all as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

The annexed drawings and the following description set forth in detail one mechani; cal form embodying the invention; tail construction being but one of various mechanical forms in which the principle of the invention may be used.

In said annexed drawings :-.-Figure 1 represents an ele ation of as much of the topof a stocking as will illustrate one form of my invention. Fig. 2 represents a section on the line w-m in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents an elevation of as much of the top of a stocking as will illustrate another form of my invention. Fig. 4 represents a section on the line y-y in Fig. 3. Fig. 5 represents a section of a portion of the top of a stocking illustrating still another embodiment of my invention.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings, the reference numeral 1 indicates a'portion of the top of a stocking, having the usual garter-welt, 2. The upper doubled edge of the garter-welt is slitted for a portion of its circumference, and the upper edges of the two sides, 3 and 4 of a pocket, 5,- are secured to the edges of said slitted portion, by suitable vstitching (sewing or knitting), and one side of the pocket has a flap, 6.

, In the'form illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, the flap extends from the upper edge of the inner side 3 or" the pocket, and has a buttonhole 7, which is engaged by a button, 8, upon the outer side of the pocket and the garterwelt.

denies oi this patent may be obtained or five cents each, by

In the form illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4, the flap extends from the upper edge of the outer side of the pocket and folds over the joined edges of the inner sides of the pocketand garter-welt, and in this form the flap and inner sides of the pockets and garterwelt are illustrated as secured by a knob and socket fastener, 9. A cord, 10, preferably elastic, is secured at the fold of the flap.

In Fig. 5, the pocket is illustrated as formed in and by the garter-welt, and the slit-ted portionof the latter is formed with a flap upon the upper edge of the inner side of the garter-welt. The pocket may be knitted in the process of knitting the stocking, and the flap may be formed during such process, or the pocket and flap may be formed after the stocking is otherwise finished. v

Other modes of applying the principle of my invention may be employed for the mode herein explained. Change may therefore be made as regards the mechanism thus disclosed, provided the principles of-construction set forth respectively in the following claims are employed.

Having thus I claim as new and desire to procure by Let ters Patent is r .-1. A stocking formed with a gartenwelt and with a pocket in the latter opening through the upper edge of the same, and formed with a flap at the upper edge of one side of said pocket and overlapping the other side of the same, and means for securing the free end of such flap to the stocking.

2. A. stocking having a garter welt and a portion of the upper edge of said garterwelt slitted, and a pocket within the garterweltand having the upper edges of its sides secured to the edges of the slit and having described my invention, what a flap on the upper edge of one side of the rnnsaion'r.
